I was reading the tech area about how to do a big block swap into a gbody. but im not sure which oil pan to use? also should i just get like a stock style oil pan or like a street/ strip pan or does it make a differance?
also how do you tell the difference between a tall deck and short deck big blocks ? the big block i got was out of a one ton truck so is that a tall deck or short?
Turna I think that's an Internet rumor spread around.
The last 454SS P'up I owned had that 10114182 Block casting # and it wasn't a Tall Deck. It was a Gen-V 4-Bolt Block tho' & they're Truck only Blocks.
There're several 454 Bowtie Tall Deck Blocks.
i used the stock oil pan from the 2 wheel drive donor suburban and it fits perfect, so truck oil pans work, i think maybe the 4x4 pan may be different and if not then all truck pans work
fyi....big block car or truck oil pans are 5 qt capacity.....and fit the g bodies......also make sure to use the right motor mounts......i mean the matching frame to motor mounts........early f body style work.....70 s to 81........
